房市的不可预测

2010年就要结束了,2011年就要到来了,每当这个时候,就会有很多人出来预测明年的房市。其实预测是靠感觉的,不完全靠数据,也没什么用,关键还是要看每个人的情况。我个人觉得2011 will be a flat year.

就拿Lawrence Yun来说吧(REALTOR协会的首席经济专家)年复一年失败预测:

还有人专门写了一个博客就是揭露他的严重不准确预测:

1/10/2008
Lawrence Yun said, “A meaningful recovery in existing-home sales could occur as early as this spring, or it may be further delayed toward late 2008."

7/24/2008
Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the Realtors, said "I think we are very near to the end of the housing downturn," Yun said.

11/17/2008
Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the perpetually optimistic National Association of Realtors, says he expects prices to rise 2.8% in 2009.

11/13/2009
"The fear factor will no longer be at play in 2010," said Lawrence Yun

11/6/2010
"It will take another two years to clear the foreclosures and short sales on the market", said Lawrence Yun。

唉,还是给大家送一首歌吧:

宽 心 谣

日出东海落西山,愁也一天,喜也一天。
遇事不钻牛角尖,人也舒坦,心也舒坦。
每月领取养老钱,多也喜欢,少也喜欢。
少荤多素日三餐,粗也香甜,细也香甜。
新旧衣服不挑拣,好也御寒,赖也御寒。
常与知己聊聊天,古也谈谈,今也谈谈。
内孙外孙同样看,儿也心欢,女也心欢。
全家老小互慰勉,贫也相安,富也相安。
早晚操劳勤锻炼,忙也乐观,闲也乐观。
心宽体胖养天年,不是神仙,胜似神仙。 其实,拥有更多的东西也就同时拥有了更多的烦恼。 想想我们一无所有的那个年代,不是也很快乐吗?
